Jesus, being God, has the authority and the power to do anything He wants.

We will see that in our sermon text this Sunday, just like we saw it in our text last Sunday:

Where there is sickness, He can heal. Where there is a storm of chaos, He can bring the calm of peace. Where there is demonic oppression, He can bring freedom. He has the power to accomplish all these things!

But that’s not the only thing we will learn about Jesus this Sunday. We also learn this difficult truth: while Jesus has authority and power to heal and to restore, He doesn’t always choose to wield that power.

What we have here is a theological, philosophical, and imminently practical problem. If Jesus has authority and power to bring peace, freedom, and healing, then why doesn’t He do it everywhere and in every circumstance? We see this problem in the Bible and we see it in our lives. If Jesus can fix my problem, then why doesn’t He?
